  Not sure this could be any better. A true spatlese and elegant composition. This was paired with a celeriac soup and that background really let the fruit notes and juicy acidity of the wine shine. There were many head nods around the table. Pale golden color, fresh and not cloying. A pleasure.

  Out of all the 2002 Dönnhoff Spätlese rieslings I've had of late, this seemed like the best (although I have not had the NH of late). Full of tropical and orchard fruit, but this also had some nice stony minerality in the finish and very good acidity. Lovely drinking experience.

  Crumbly cork, sound wine. Deep golden topaz. Sweet peaches, golden raisins, gentle but persistent acidity. A knockout.

  I still remember purchasing this bottle, my first Donnhoff, nearly 20 years ago in New York. Complex, with peach, nectarine, lemon, honeysuckle and petrol. A marvelous balance of acid and sweet, somehow both mellow and taut. I've had miserable luck with older Donnhoff, but this was just lovely.
